crispycritter's review against another edition

In 2011 Edith Zimmerman wrote a borderline creepy article about Chris Evans for GQ Magagzine. People joked that if she added 50k words and a happily ever after to the article it'd make a great romance novel. I didn't realize that the GQ article was the (uncredited) inspiration for Funny You Should Ask. 

Eighteen pages in and things weren't really clicking for me, which is why I will be eternally grateful for folks who write extensive negative reviews of books. Sometimes it makes you go oh, I will definitely like this. And other times (like here), it's confirmation that I don't need to suffer through a book just to say I finished it.
